This latest news seems to be right in line with who he has always claimed to be.
He wants free markets to decide which ledger is the best to use for global trade. No government mandates, and let competition reign supreme.
The more people get rug-pulled, the more they wake up to how much better Bitcoin is. It's possible Milei did this simply to prove that point. Learn about Bitcoin, or get wrecked by my insider trading and scams.
I think it is not about which ledger is best, but the fact the he did inside trading and scamming. Free market doesn't mean you have the right to scam.

Didn't Trump just do the same thing? Doesn't Coinbase do it every single day?
I agree they shouldn't do these things.... but I'm not sure I agree they don't have the right to?? Free market kinda does mean they have the right. People need to protect themselves instead of expecting their leaders to. It makes for a stronger country.
I wish there was more hate and outrage over Trump, Coinbase, and other scammers doing this shit. So many Bitcoiners still using Coinbase..... literally validating the scammers and just being cool with it. Same way they seem to be okay with continuing to use fiat money like it's "not that bad". No outrage where outrage is in order.

Yep, Trump did the same thing, and Coinbase does it everyday. That is why I call them scams too.
They don't have the right, because under natural law every part commited to a contract must know all the conditions and risks. In this case, the other party should have known in advance that he and his guys would do inside trading. Of course, if they would have known, no one would have bought their shitcoin, but that's the reason why they hide things.
I know it's hard to grasp the idea, but in an ideal society with everybody respecting natural law, it is fundamental that morality is above convenience. I don't mean that convenience is always bad, but it has to be second to morality. Natural law enforces this. And natural law is in our instincts, it is what we call morality, but we ignore it because of the big temptation of convenience.
